Re: Who Should Host The Oscars?

Is he homophobic? There is nothing in nearly ten years to indicate that. There's a lot to show that he isn't. And he did apologise. What he didn't do was issue the Academy's formal apology. And they wonder why no one wanted the job.

I don't know what's in anyone's heart. I do know that the things he said were very homophobic. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a formal apology for something like that.

Based on tweets and jokes and interviews, yeah. He is probably a bit homophobic.

And he didn't apologize until today. And I doubt his views have changed.

Ahaha. I like how your time limitations on proof of homophobia somehow don't include, you know, the various homophobic remarks he made. Because that's only fair, right? We shouldn't assume someone's homophobic just because they made some homophobic tweets and jokes and then never expressed any remorse for their bigotry.

BTW, his Kevin Hart: Seriously Funny special was in 2010. He makes a lengthy homophobic joke within the first ten minutes about how awful it'd be if his son turned out to be gay. He's not homophobic, you know! It's just that he's a heterosexual man, so of course his son being gay would be terrible and he thinks everyone should actively discourage any signs of teh gay in their male children by yelling at them to stop.


Also, nobody wanted the job before Kevin Hart's resignation. It's a difficult, thankless job to host a long award banquet that struggles for ratings. This has been common knowledge for years. It's definitely not because the mean ol' Academy have a problem with Kevin Hart's homophobia and wish to hold him responsible for the words that come out of his mouth.
